POORHOUSE TO PALACE
I BYJVIAR
CHAPTER VI.
Mary had been at the poorhouso about
thrco weeks when Miss Grundy one day
ordered her to tie on her sun-bonnet and
run across the meadow and through the
woods until she came to a ryo stubble,
then follow the footpath along the fence
until she camo to another strip of woods,
with a brook running through It "And
Just on th'o fur edge of thera woods," said
she, "you'll see the men folks to work;"
and do tell 'cm to conio to their dinner
quick."
It was a mild September day, and
Mary determined not to hurry. She had
not gone far when she came suddenly
upon a boy and two little girls, who seem
ed to bo playing near the brook. In the
features of the boy Bhc recognized Henry
Lincoln, and remembering what Billy
had said of him, she was about turning
away when the smallest of tho girls
espied her, and called out: "Look here,
Rose, I reckon that's Mary Howard.
I'm going to speak to her."
"Jenny Lincoln, you mustn't do any
such thing. Mother won't like it," an
swered the girl called Rose.
But whether "mother would llko It" or
not, Jenny did not stop to think, and
going toward Mary she said: "Have you
come to play In tho woods?"
"No," was Mary's reply. "I came to
call tho folks to dinner."
"Oh, It was you that screamed so loud.
I couldn't think who It was, but It can't
bo dinner-time?"
"Yes, 'tis; it's noon."
"Well, wo don't hare dinner untllv2,
and we can stay here till that time.
Won't you play with us?"
"No, I can't; I must go back and
work," said Mary.
"Work I" repeated Jenny. "I think
It's bad enough to haro to llvo in that
old houso without working; but come and
see our fish pond;" and taking Mary's
hand, she led her to a wide part of tho
stream where tho water had been dam
med up until It was nearly two feet deep
1 and clear as crystal. Looking In, Mary
could see tho pebbles on tho bottom,
while a fish occasionally darted out and
then disappeared.
"I made this almost all myself," said
Jenny. "Henry wouldn't help me be
cause he's so ugly, and Itoso was afraid
of blacking her fingers. But I don't care.
Mother snys I'm a great great I've for
gotten tho word, but It means dirty and
careless, and I guess I do look llko a
fright, don't I?"
Mary now for the first time noticed tho
appearance of her companion, nnd readi
ly guessed that the word which she could
not remember was "slattern." Sho was
a fat, chubby little girl, with a round,
sunny face and laughing blue eyes, while
her brown huir hung around her fore
head In short, tangled curls. Altogether
she was just tho kind of little girl which
one often finds 'In tho country swinging
on gates and making mud pies.
Mary was naturally very neat; and In
reply to Jenny's question as to whether
sho looked like a fright, she answered,
"I like your fnco better than I do your
dress," becauso It Is clean."
"Why, so was my dress this morning,"
said Jenny, "but there can't anybody play
In tho mud and not get dirty."
Jenny drew nearer to Mn'ry and said:
"If you'll novcr tell anybody as long as
you live and bracathe, I'll tell you some
thing." Mary gave tho required promise, nnd
Jenny continued: "I shouldn't like to
have my mother know It, for sho scolds
all the time now about my 'vulgnr
tastes,' though I'm sure Roso likes tho
same things that I do, except Billy Ben
der, and it's about him I was going to
tell you. He was so pleasant I couldn't
help loving him, If mother did say I
mustn't. He used to talk to me about
keeping clean, nnd onco I tried a whole
week, and I only dirtied four dresses In
all that time. Oh! how handsome and
funny his eyes looked when I told him
about it. He took mo In his lap, and
aid that was more than ho thought a
little girl ought to dirty. Did you ever
see any boy you loved as well as you do
Billy Bender?"
Mary hesitated a moment, for, much
as she liked Billy, there was another
whom she loved better, though ho had
never been one-half as kind to hef as
Billy had. After a time she answered:
"Yes, I like, or I did like, George More
land, but I shall never see him again;"
and then she told Jenny of her homo In
England, of the long, dreary voyage to
America, and of her father's death; but
when she came to the sad night when her
mother and Franky died, she could not
go on, and laying her face In Jenny's lap
she cried for a long time. Jenny's tears
flowed, too, and she, softly caressing
Mary, said: "Don't cry so, for I'll love
you, and we'll have good times together,
too. We live in Boston every winter,
but it will be 'most six weeks beforo we
go, and I mean to see you every day."
"In Boston?" said Mary, Inquiringly.
"George lives In Boston."
Jenny was silent a moment, and then
suddenly clapping her hands together,
she exclaimed: "I know George More
Jand. He lives just opposite our house,
and is Ida Seldon's cousin. Why, he's
'most as handsome as Billy Bender, only
he teases you more. I'll tell him about
you, for mother says he's got lots of
money, and perhaps he'll give you some."
Mary felt that she wouldn't for the
world have George know she was In the
poorhouse, and she quickly answered,
"No, no, you mustn't tell him a word
about me, I don't want you to. Prom
ise that you won't."
CHAPTER VII.
One afternoon about the middle of Oc
tober Mary sat under an apple tree In
the orchard, weeping bitterly. It was
In rain that Alice, who was with her,
and who by this time was able to stand
alone, climbed up to her side, patting
her cheeks and trying in various ways
to win her attention. She still wept on,
unmindful of the sound of rapid foot
ateps upon the grass, nor until twice re
peated did she hear the words, "Why,
Mary, what Is tho matter? What's hap
pened?" Then looking up sho saw Billy
Bender, who raised her In his arms.
Laying her head on his shoulder, she
sobbed out: "She's gone she's gone, and
thero's nobody left but Sally. "Oh dear,
oh dear!"
"Gone! Whose gone?" asked Billy.
"Jenny," was Mary's reply. "She's
gone to Boston, and won't como back till
next May; and I loved her so much."
"Oh, yes, I know," returned Billy. "I
met them nil on their way to the depot;
but I wouldn't feel so badly. Jenny will
como again, and besides that, I've got
somo real good news to tell you."
"About Ella?" said Mary.
"No, not about Ella, but about myself;
I'm coming hero to llvo with you."
"Coming hero, to Hvol" repeated Mary
with astonishment "What for? Are
your folks all dead?"
Billy smiled and answered, "Not quite
so bad as that I went to school here
two years ago, and I know I learned
more than I ever did at home in two
seasons. Tho boys, when Henry Lin
coln is away, don't act half as badly as
they do In tho village; and then they usu
ally have a lady teacher, because It's
cheaper, I suppose, for they don't pay
them half as much as they do gentle
men, and I think they are a great deal
the best Anyway, I can team the most
when I go to a woman."
"But what makes you come here, and
what will your mother do?" nsked Mary.
"She's got a sister como from the West
to stay with her, and as I shall go home
every Saturday night, she'll get along
well enough. I henrd Mr. Parker in tho
Htoro ouo day Inquiring for n boy to do
chores. So after consulting mother I
offered my services nnd was accepted.
Won't we have real nice times going to
school together?"
Three weeks from that time tho winter
school commenced, and Billy took up
his nbode at the poorhouse, greatly to the
satisfaction of Sally ant Mary and great
ly to the annoyance of Miss Grundy.
"Smart Ideal" said she, "to have that
great lummox around to be waited on!"
nnd when sho saw how happy his pres
ence seemed to make Mary, sho vented
her dlspleasuro upon hor In various ways,
conjuring up all sorts or reasons why she
should stny out of school as often as pos
sible, and wondering "what the world
was coming to, when young ones hardly
out of tho cradlo begun to court! It
wasn't so In her younger days, goodness
knows!"
Much as Mary had learned to prlzo
Sally's friendship, beforo winter was
over sho had causo to valuo It still more
highly. Wretched nnd destltuto as tho
poor crar.cd creature now was, she show
ed plainly that at some' period or other
of her life sho had had raro advantages
for education, which sho now brought
Into uso for Mary's benefit.
Each night Mary brought homo her
books, and tho rapid Improvement which
sho made In her studies was ns much
owing to Sally's useful hints and assist
ance as to her own untiring persovcr
unco. One day when sho returned fronj
school Sally saw there was something
tho matter, for her eyes wcro red, and
her cheeks wcro flushed as If with weep
lug. On Inquiring of Billy, she learned
that somo of tho girls had been teasing
Mary about her teeth, calling them
"tushes."
As It happened, one of tho paupers was
sick, and Dr. Gilbert was at that time In
tho houso; to him Sal Immediately went,
and after laying the caso beforo him
asked him to extract tho offending teeth.
Sally was quite a favorite with the doe
tor, who readily consented, on condition
that Mary was willing, which ha much
doubted, as such teeth came hard.
"Willing or not, she shall have them
out. It's all that makes her so homely,"
said Sal, and, going In quest of Mary,
she led her to tho doctor, who asked to
look In her mouth.
There was a fierce struggle, a scream,
and then one of tho teeth was lying upou
tho floor.
"Stand still," said Sal, more sternly
than sho bad ever before spoken to Mary,
who, half frightened out of her wits,
stood still while the other ono was ex
tracted. "There," said Sal, when the operation
was finished, "you look a hundred per
cent better."
For a time Mary cried, hardly know
ing whether sho relished the joke or not;
but when Billy praised her improved
looks, telling her that "her mouth was
real pretty," and when she herself dried
her eyes enough to see that It was a
great Improvement, she felt better, and
wondered why she bad never thought to
have them out before.
Rapidly and pleasantly to Mary that
winter passed away, for the presence of
Billy was In itself sufficient reason why
shf should be happy. Ho was so affec
tionate and brother-like In his deport
ment toward her that she began question
ing whether she did not love him as well,
If not better, than sho did her sister Ella,
whom she seldom saw, though she heard
that she had a governess from Worcester,
and was taking music lessons on a grand
piano, which bad been bought a year be
fore. Occasionally Billy called at Mrs.
Campbell's, but Ella seemed shy and un
willing to speak of her sister.
"Why Is there this difference? he
thought more than once, as he contrast
ed the situation of the two girls the one
petted, caressed and surrounded by every
luxury, and the other forlorn, desolate,
and the inmate of a poorhouse; and then
be built castles of a future when, by the
labor of bis own head or bands, Mary,
too, should be rich and happy.
CHAPTER VIII.
As spring advanced Alice began to
droop, Sally's quick eye detected in her
infallible signs of decay. But she would
not tell it to Mary, whose life now seem
ed a comparatively happy one. Mr. and
Mrs. Parker were kind to her. Uncle
' 4
Peter petted her, and even Miss Grundy
had more than once admitted that "she
was about as good as young ones would
average." Billy, too, had promised to
remain and work for Mr. Parker, during J
the summer, intending with the money ,
thus earned to go the next fall and win-
ter to tho academy in Wlllbraham. Jen

that "sho would stop that clack," or of
the anxious, pitying eyes Sal Furbush
bent upon her, as day after day the
faithful old creaturo rocked and tended
little Alice.
At last Mary could no longer bo de
ceived, nnd ono day when Alice lay gasp
ing In Sally's lap Bhe said, "Aunt Sally,
Isn't Alice growing worse? Sho doesn't
play now, nor try to walk."
Sally laid her hand on Mary's face and
replied: "Poor child, you'll soon be all
alone."
Thcro was no outcry no sudden gush
of tears, but nervously clnsplng her
hans upon her heart, as If the shock had

nothing, and a careless observer might
havo thought that sho cared nothing, ns
It became each day more and more cvi
dent that Alice was dying. But these
knew not of the long nights, when with
untiring lovo sho sat by her sister's cra
dle, listening to her Irregular breathing,
pressing her clammy hnnds and praying
to bo forgiven If ever, In thought or deed,
sho had wronged tho llttlo one now leav
ing her.
And all this time there camo no kind
word or message of love from Ella, who
know that Alice was dying, for Billy
had told her so.

earnestly to have her laid by her mother
that her request was granted, nnd that
night when the young spring moon came
out It looked quietly down upon the grave
of little Alice, who by her mother's side
was sweetly sleeping.
Thrco weeks had passed away sines
Alice's death, and affairs at tho poor
house were beglunlng to glldo on ns usual.
Mary, who had resinned her post asllsh
washer In tho kitchen, was almost dally
expecting Jenny; and ono day when Billy
camo In to dinner he gavo her tho Joy

Mary bounded Joyfully away to the
woods, whole she found Jenny, who cm
braced her In a manner vhlch showed
that sho had not been forgotten.
"Oh," said she, "I've got so much to1
tell you, and so much to hear, though I
know nil about dear little Allco's death
-didn't you feel dreadfully?"

something new, exclaimed. "Why, what

Mary explained tho circumstances of
the tooth-pulling and .Tcnny continue. :
"You look a great deal bolter, ami If,
your cheeks were only a llttlo fatter and
jour skin not quite so yellow, you d bo.
real liandHoiue; but no mutter about that.
I saw George Morehin.l In Boston. 11 ml I
wanted to tell him about yon. but I'd
promised nut to; and then at first I felt
afraid of him, for you can't think what
u groat big fellow bo's got to be. Why,'
he's awful tall nnd handsome, too. Kino'
likes him, and so do lots of tho girls, but
I don't believe ho cares a bit for any of
them except his cousin Ida, and I guess
ho does like her."
Hero the chatterer was Interrupted by
Henry Lincoln, who directly In front of
her leaped across tho brook. Ho was
evidently not much Improved In his man
ners, for tho moment ho was safely laud
ed on terra firmn ho approached Mary,
and, seizing her round tho waist, ex
claimed, "Halloo, little pauper! You're
glad to see mo buck, I dare say."
Then drawing her head over so that
ho could look Into her face, ho contin
ued, "Had your tusks out, haven't you?
Well, It's qulto an Improvement, so much
so that I'll venture to kiss you."
Mary struggled, and Jenny scolded,
whllo Henry said, "Don't kick nnd flounce
so, my little beauty. If thero's anything
I hate It's seeing girls make bellote
they're modest. That clodhopper Bill
kisses you every day, I'll warrant."

New Ideas.
Tho Kndlrs hnvo had nn opportunity
to lenrn Bonietlilug of the art of surgery
slnco tho soldiers and tho military doc
tors havo overrun Africa. Possibly ad
vanced methods will not altogether
supersede primitive Btirgery among
theso people, however, for they nro not
fond of change.
Time was when n Knfllr with a
broken leg submitted to peculiar treat
ment It was customary to plnco tho
limb in a hole dug In the earth, and
keep It there till the bones were knit
together ngnln.
The Leisure Hour tells of a caso In
which tho bones of n certain Knlllr 1ml, j
having been set by European nld, tho!
Knfllr father dissented from tho incth
od employed. He had the splints re
moved, carried tho boy home on horse
back, and then took the usual course of
setting tho limb In tho earth. Tho
consequence was that It took six
months to effect a cure.
Katllr doctors are hereditary, the cle
verest son In the doctor's family being
usually chosen to succeed his father.
Thcro are other modern things that a
Kaffir has to learn besides tho newest
mehods In surgery. In his languago
there Is no such term as "Thank you."
He Is beginning to learn It, however,
although he does not think It becoming
to show any emotion whether of grat
itude or anything else.
When two Kaffirs meet one says, "I
see you," which Is nnswercd by "Yes."
Mora poetical Is his parting word,
"May peabe go with you," to which
comes the response, "May peace stay
with you."
An Kffect Bpolled.

"Grief at leaving her horaoV"
